John Miller (October 29, 1843– October 26, 1908) served as the first Governor of North Dakota from 1889 to 1891. He was a member of the Republican Party.

John Miller was born in Dryden, New York. In 1878 he moved to the Dakota Territory with Jeremy W. Dwight and purchased 17,000 acres (69 km²) of land in the Red River Valley land of Richland County, establishing the Dwight Farm and Land Company. In 1889 Miller participated in the constitutional convention; this was Miller's only political experience prior to becoming governor. He had no previous political aspirations, but ran for governor after being persuaded to do so. After serving his term Miller declined to run for re-election or other office. He returned to his bonanza farm business and organized the John Miller Land Company in 1896. Miller became president of the newly-incorporated Chaffee-Miller Milling Company in 1906.
